ACTIVITIES.
TEN PIN BOWLING.
There were 8 of us at ten pin bowling this month, 7 players and 1
spectator. We all had a good time and enjoyed the mince pies and biscuits
thanks to Marion and Dot. John G had the highest score among the men
with 169 and Jackie excelled herself with 114, with Maureen a close second
with 97, and then Dot with 94. It is good fun and we would like some more
players to make it worthwhile carrying on next year. John Grognet.
